TRENTO. “We are very skeptical about the reconstruction of the Province who hastily declared the bear guilty and announced his death sentence, but we demand greater clarity and transparency. For this reason we have written to the ministers of health and environment so that an expert opinion on the injuries sustained by the man can be arranged with the utmost urgency”. This was stated – in a note – by the responsible for wild animal lav, Massimo Vitturispeaking on the attack against a 33-year-old that occurred last Saturday in the Bleggio Superiore areain Trentino.
“The two ministers – we read in the note – were asked to directly involve the National Reference Center for Veterinary Forensic Medicine of the Ministry of Health, established at the Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of Lazio and Tuscany, requesting it to provide an expert opinion and a pro veritate opinion regarding the nature of the aforementioned wounds and their actual traceability to a bear”.
According to Vitturi, “the causes and dynamics of the accident must be carefully evaluated prevent similar situations from happening again in the future“.
